"When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain might
overwrite a parent domain's cache entry, making it end sooner or later
than  otherwise intended.    This affects curl using applications that
enable HSTS and use URLs with the  insecure `HTTP://` scheme and
perform transfers with hosts like  `x.example.com` as well as
`example.com` where the first host is a subdomain  of the second host.
(The HSTS cache either needs to have been populated manually or there
needs to  have been previous HTTPS accesses done as the cache needs to
have entries for  the domains involved to trigger this problem.)
When `x.example.com` responds with `Strict-Transport-Security:`
headers, this  bug can make the subdomain's expiry timeout *bleed
over* and get set for the  parent domain `example.com` in curl's HSTS
cache.    The result of a triggered bug is that HTTP accesses to
`example.com` get  converted to HTTPS for a different period of time
than what was asked for by  the origin server. If `example.com` for
example stops supporting HTTPS at its  expiry time, curl might then
fail to access `http://example.com` until the  (wrongly set) timeout
expires. This bug can also expire the parent's entry  *earlier*, thus
making curl inadvertently switch back to insecure HTTP earlier  than
otherwise intended.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.

"The following text was originally created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The original
can be found at CISA.gov.

Siemens has identified the following specific workarounds and mitigations users can apply to reduce risk:

- All affected products: Update to V3.2 or later version

As a general security measure, Siemens recommends protecting network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. To
operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends configuring the environment according to Siemens'
operational guidelines for industrial security and following recommendations in the product manuals.
